When he says "got you where I want you" - that's where he flips the script from a guy making a fool of himself to someone who claims to know what they are doing. So in that sense it's a manipulation, but one that a guy has to come up with to have any success. When he says "I think you're smart" - most likely this is a cover for his real sentiment, which is "I think you're hot" since men are attracted to physical beauty at first - but most girls won't go for this and want to be liked primarily for their personality. The first verse, he is saying, "what's the point of this?" meaning dating could be a lot easier and more straightforward than a guy having to go up to a girl and make up a fake conversation just to get some action. There are possible ambiguities in the lyrics which could be intentional. He is embarrassing himself and another band member comes up to him and tries to save him, but he says to him, Ive got her right where I want her." Starting with johnemint's comment about the interview where the band members said, "It is one of the band members himself who is trying to pick up the girl but she wont give him the time of day. Even years later, I still remember her because of this song and it still get chills every time I hear it. Perhaps that's the reason this is my favorite song, it's just so amazing when music relates EXACTLY to your own life, it's as if someone wrote the song specifically for you. After I met her, we always competed to see who could get the best grade on the test/quiz, which is where the "I think you're smart, you sweet thing" part comes in, as she usually beat me. To this day, my heart still melts every time I hear the "maybe just a smile" line, it brings me back to that exact moment. I was all nervous, but she gave me a really big smile, which totally calmed me down. I kinda experienced this first hand when I was trying to man up and talk to this girl in my stats class back in college. The "hey, what's the point of this?" kinda references the whole game you have to play to meet a girl and try to develop a relationship with her. It seems that the lead singer, as well as myself, is pretty shy around girls and is therefore trying to find some sort of conversation piece to start talking to a girl he admires. I think that CandyKane7 got the meaning down perfectly. Yeah, I've got you where I want you, want you, want you Yeah, I've got you where I want you (suffer, suffer, me don't get no rougher) Got you where I want you (suffer, suffer, me don't get no rougher) ![]() (Rub it up, baby girl, torture me like no other) When me rock me, baby, put me pain on me, loverĪh-ooh (suffer, suffer, me don't get no rougher) Rub it up, baby girl, torture me like no other Ah-ooh, got you where I want you, oh yeahĪh-ooh, got you where I want you, oh, yeah
